Xbox One Controller & cheap headphones (audio + chat)

Hi my dear xbox lovers!

I've got this pair of Apple Earbuds that use a standard 3.5mm audio/mic jack.
I like them, the sound is good, the mic is OK, they're fine for my day-to-day needs.

As far as I know, the PS4 controller can handle audio and chat through the DS4's 3.5mm jack.

I understand that the Xbox One controller has a proprietary port that imposes some sort of connectivity limit.

My question is, with the help of some sort of (cheap) adapter (I know that some headset companies have adapters in the works...), would it be possible for me to use my (cheap) Apple headphones with the Xbox One controller (for audio AND chat)?
That would be awesome, since I wouldn't have to buy a 100$-ish headset.

Thanks a lot fellow Xbone lovers

 

Amazon Prime Day - Wednesday 15th - "Bigger than Black Friday"

I will definitely get one of the newer versions of the Xbox controllers. Question. If I plug in my headphones into the controller, will it take control of the games volume or is it only a port for a mic?

I would also like to get a kindle fire controller.

And possibly Tomb Raider on the One.
